According to successfulblackparenting.com-Only 12% of Black males are proficient in reading by 8th grade. African-American male students often face unique challenges that can affect their reading proficiency: Many African-American families face economic challenges that limit access to educational resources such as books, tutoring, and enrichment programs. The lack of culturally relevant reading materials can affect engagement and motivation, making it challenging for students to connect with what they are reading. “If a Black male is not proficient in reading by the 4th grade, they only have a 20% chance of graduating from high school on grade level.” – Dr. Jawanza KunjufuIt is important for us to bridge the literacy gap between black/brown skinned children and white children. With February being recognized as Black History Month, what better way to infuse, highlight, and celebrate Black History than through reading and learning about Black His/Her STORY!

We have a skeleton team and our impact relies heavily on volunteer engagement. All of our mission-related programs are based on community goodwill via private donations, service club and other grants, and our own fundraising efforts. For these reasons, attracting new donors and donor engagement/appreciation is another key function of the Social Media Coordinator role.
This role would first work with the Executive Director to co-develop an annual digital marketing plan building it out to weekly content calendars. This volunteer would then work with CanvaPro and the organization's brand kit to design and schedule weekly social posts for each platform and then engage with online communities.
